Hot Water

Well, spent half the weekend without Hot Water.. Something happened to the time clock when they were upgrading the switchboard and the water was not heating.

Electricity

Hmm, today must be a bad day for electricity. 🙁 While recompiling the kernel and doing some surfing, I decided to put the little heater on in the office because it is about 5 Degrees (Celsius). I came back from helping to make dinner to find that the heater had blown the circuit breaker on the power board that the power board for the heater was plugged into (YES, two power boards..) This caused my desktop machine and the server to die horribly, so I had to hit the reset button on the powerboard and start everything back up again. The server was happily compiling again when I left for Jase & Mon’s house

ADSL

Well, I’ve got my test ADSL connection up and running, after a little bit of playing around last night. The speeds seem pretty good, though I’m spoilt by having a 100Mb/sec connection in the office.. Then I had to turn all my computers off anyway because we are having the entire electrical switchboard in our house replaced so that we can have a fan/heater/light installed in the bathroom. After spending $5500 on the underpinning, what is another $6-700 for some electrical work?
